If you’ve never tried Raptr, now may be the time. The site actually seems to be improving. The gamercards I coded for Lungfishopolis are great in that I can add all games I’m playing on any platform, but the drawback is that everything’s manual – I have to add games myself rather than the card picking them up when I play. Raptr is the first site I’ve seen that attempts to grab games from multiple platforms automatically. I checked tonight and was pleased to see that it had grabbed games from PC, PS3, and the XBox Live account that I use on my PC when playing Fallout 3. It mistakenly lists that one as XBox 360, which is odd since I don’t own one, but the fact that it’s grabbing the game is great.
It’s certainly not perfect. Although it’s showing that I played Fallout 3 just 2 hours ago, it’s saying that I haven’t played Pixeljunk monsters since November 15th, which is wrong. And although it accepted my Wii code, it’s not showing any of the Wii games that I’ve played recently. Still, the site is much better than it was a couple months ago.
Here’s the card.
Hi Greg, I’m Andrew Wooldridge one of the engineers at Raptr. I’d love to help you voice your feedback/comments and help figure out any issues you might be having. Email me at the address I added here and we’ll figure it out! Also, any feedback on how we might make the Raptrcard better!
Thanks for all your great feedback, Greg. We still have a long ways to go to reach the vision we have for it so expect to see the site continue to improve by leaps and bounds. One point of clarification, we don’t automatically track PS3/PSN and Wii games yet. We do have an option to manually report gaming activity on those platforms in the meantime. We do automatically track PC, Mac, Xbox and even Flash/Web games for you though! As Andrew said, please feel free to contact us with any feedback.
Just the fact you guys are coming here to personally comment on Raptr is impressive enough. I use the site, along with Playfire, and once you guys get PSN updating I’ll switch over permanently. Thanks for the insight!
